Episodes

Zone of Genius? Zone of Excellence? WTF are those? Sara and I go deep today into defining these concepts. And we detail how we can get caught in our comfort zones sometimes, sticking to our Excellence and avoiding the discomfort that is required to push through to get to our Genius. This wonderful conversation with Sara Dean, host of the Shameless Mom Podcast and Academy, reveals so many of the struggles we can run into as our businesses grow and require us to take on new roles, new duties....

Determination, passion, purpose, mindset… and not living five minutes in front of your face. My special guest Mandi Ann and I talk candidly about what it took her to find the ideal path for her journey. A path which delivered so much passion and purpose, she became determined to write her new book and grow her business, despite the resistance which showed up. We discuss how this devil (resistance) is always showing up, at every level of your journey… new level, new devil! But, if you can...

A blessing and a curse, being an Intuitive can potentially be both at the same time. Join Jessica as she dives DEEP into Chapter 3 of her book, “Don’t Do Stuff You Suck At”. She gets literally into the HEART of being an INTUITIVE and how it can simultaneously be a huge advantage and the biggest affliction. Dive into this episode to see if your intuitive nature could be RUINING your life! Heads up that this is one SASSY episode, so you may want to cover little ears. Jessica is fired up and...

“I’m about to go on a Rampage, quite honestly, this summer, like a straight up rampage to help people have the best summer of their lives.” I’m going just going to keep it real right up front. What I’m going to talk to you about today is potentially going to just blow your mind. This is especially for the “J’s.” That’s not true. This is for everybody. But this shit today is, is a little off the hook. I remember learning about this and having it be potentially one of the most validating...

“It’s when sh#t like this comes up… when you are stressed out, when you want to punch someone in the face for eating popcorn and they’re not doing their job… and you realize: I could be putting my talents to better use.” All right Front Seat Lifers, this is a very special episode today. I have my very favorite person in the entire world on the podcast, my sister Erica. We pretty much hated each other during our teenage years, I think, as most girls did. But since then, we are the best of...

Who are you, where are you going, and how are you going to get there? These words came from when I was in graduate school. We were given some homework that summer before we started, and I read this book and it had those three lines in that book. Who are you, where are you going and how are you going to get there? And I specifically remember where I was. I lived in Issaquah, Washington at the time and I was at a park. It was a gorgeous sunny afternoon and I was reading at the park and at that...

Any couples out there that are looking for better communication, really starting to understand each other’s personality types, your energy, how you make decisions, all the miscommunications… then this episode is for you. About six years ago I started this crazy process of starting this business called Front Seat Life and with the tag line “Be Unapologetically Who You Are in Your Life, Love and Business. I’ve been doing the life portion for about six or seven years. I have been doing the...

Being unapologetically who you are in your relationship, what does this mean? How is it related to personality type and what impact can this have? I am joined by my dear friend Lisa Fischer today to have a candid conversation about this powerful topic. If you haven’t been following along, over the last several episodes I have been transitioning from being unapologetically who you are in life to being who you are in love. Showing up and being your authentic, true self regardless of what other...

David is back to discuss, and to quiz me, about masculine and feminine energy, how these show up in each and every one of us, and some of the many challenges we navigate in a relationship related to these two powerful forces. We get super vulnerable during our conversation, both of us sharing some stories and feelings which help spotlight the impact of these energies within a relationship. “I’m really good at gathering berries, you’re good at stabbing bears, let’s make a team.” For the most...

We have been transitioning from “self” into “other.” Last week's episode was about understanding your partner's energy, introversion and extroversion, and understanding how your energy is different from your partner's. And today we are continuing this relationship conversation and I am going back to my therapy roots, I'm putting my therapy hat on. I used to love doing couples therapy, I loved high conflict couples. The Sensing and Intuition dichotomy was one of the biggest ones that would...

I am continuing to talk about things “other” related. As you guys know, this whole podcast is about living your life from the Front Seat, about being unapologetically who you are in your life, love, and business. I have been talking about the self, being unapologetically who you are, understanding your “side of the net” differentiation, what your opinions are, what your personality type is, how you show up in this world. And last week we transitioned over into the “other.” The “other” part...

Today's topic is codependency. Oh Wow. That's a doozy. For those of you who have never heard about codependency before, this is one of the biggest topics that has impacted my life as well as my business. The next two months we are diving into self and others. If you are coming into this and you haven't listened to episode 8, I would suggest going back and listening because that is really about the balance of self and others. Today and in the next several episodes, and last week's episode...

We are making a big move, from “self” to “others.” We do not live in a silo. We do not live alone. We live with others and one of the best models that I ever learned was this model of attunement and differentiation. And that's what today's episode is going to be all about. Today I want you to listen in as I explain this model and tool. I want you to imagine an infinity symbol. This is not a line for a reason because you're not one or the other, you’re kind of going back and forth. You're...

What is our job? It is our job to complete ourselves and go into relationships as a whole person. Nobody else can do this. Someone else cannot “complete” us, and this can be hard, very hard. Especially for women because we, as caretakers, can struggle with our “side of the net.” I use a tennis court as an analogy and on one side of the net is ourselves, and we need to make sure this side of the net is filled in and whole for us to properly find attunement with others. During this episode, I...

Welcome, Front Seat Lifers! We are on week four of the dichotomies. We have been talking for the last four weeks about introversion, extroversion, sensing, intuition, thinking, feeling, judging and perceiving. And today's episode is one of my all-time favorites that I will probably ever do a because it is about my favorite dichotomy which is judging and perceiving. If you need to go back and understand what judging and perceiving is, just scoot back to episode one and two. But a tiny little...

Hello everybody, welcome. This is Jessica Butts, your host of the Front Seat Life Podcast, and today I have interviewed two different people to really highlight the dichotomy of this week's episode, which is Thinking and Feeling. This is one of the most interesting dichotomies because it is very gender biased as well as societally bias. Back in the eighties, John Gray wrote this book called Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and unknowingly I think he was really talking about this idea...

Hey there, welcome back! Come and join me as a fly on the wall while my good friend (and former boyfriend) David and I discuss what life is like as an Intuitive. We both realized at some point, it took some time believe me, that being an Intuitive, despite it making us complete weirdos, is our greatest asset. Why? Intuitive people have this amazing power to see patterns of behavior which the other 75% remain oblivious to…. Huh? What? Listen in as we explain… If you remember, 25% of us are...

In this episode, I, a devoted extrovert, sit down with two wonderful people who are leaning towards the introverted side of things. Stephanie and Jeni have agreed to join me today to share some stories about what it is like to be an introvert in an extroverted world. I believe our conversation brings some interesting insights into the "Introverted" dichotomy, some of the challenges and beautiful elements as well. The perspectives we all are able to share about the two dichotomies is...

Hello, I'm so glad you are back, this episode piggybacks onto Episode 1. If you haven’t heard that episode yet, please consider going back and listening, it will help everything in this installment of the show make so much more sense. In this episode, I reveal a framework, an analogy I personally came up with to help explain the Meyers-Briggs personality types and how they show up within ourselves. I needed to find a way to help people really understand and grasp the nuances of each type,...

Welcome back to the Front Seat Life Podcast! Hello, I'm so glad you are here. This is the episode where we start to get into the "meat" of the show and I can't wait to share. You'll find out where that comes from during this episode as I start to unpack my fascination with Meyers-Briggs and what I mean when I say, "Live your life from the front seat!" My Obsession I have been obsessed with the Meyers-Briggs personality type indicator since I was about 20 years old. I was working as an HR...
